About the Author

Thomas Ap Dewi is a travel writer who has lived, worked and travelled in dozens of countries throughout the world. What he doesn't know about far away places would fill several encyclopaedias.
He's a moderately clever chap, and some people think he's quite funny. Other people do not. Your own mileage may vary. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this work, some outright lies have been included. But only when they're really easy to spot.
